José Luis Espert

José Luis Espert (born 21 November 1961) is an Argentine economist and politician. He is known to be one of the strongest supporters of economic liberalism in Argentina. He was elected National Deputy for the Province of Buenos Aires in the 2021 Argentine legislative election. He was the founder and leader of the Avanza Libertad coalition, and in 2023 he briefly became a member of Juntos por el Cambio. In 2024 he joined La Libertad Avanza.

Espert supports free trade, proposes to deepen the commercial opening with the world, and attacks Mercosur for what he describes as its limitations to this. He is against the "corporations that devour the country"; he proposes that the country "change the system for another". With his ideology, he seeks to position himself as the only representative of liberalism. Espert considers himself a "common citizen", criticizes Mauricio Macri and Alberto Fernández, and claims to be the sole opposition figure to Kirchnerism. Provided by Wikipedia
